Sometimes they are in such a hurry to load the data, they forget the little things - like accuracy! But, this may be an improvement that needs to be done in the code they use for linking datasets. Great to see FMP is listening and willing to take the scary step to &#39;talk&#39; to the user! All the best...

My Grandmother graduated from VGH in 1944 and continued working there as a nurse. I see you are interested in women&#39;s history. The graduating class of 1944 stayed friends throughout their lives, keeping in touch through letters and a regular reunion. Most have passed away, there are a few ladies that are still with us. I have a yearbook and keepsakes you may find interesting. grandma kept so much and there&#39;s really not much when researching VGH history. There is a group trying to find info on the nurses who worked with the tuberculosis patients in the 40 s. I believe I have so much to offer of a historical value...Michellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10606601.post-17780359998858866992016-05-01T03:31:56.983-07:002016-05-01T03:31:56.983-07:00Hi just come accross this when I entered Saggers i...Hi just come accross this when I entered Saggers into the Surname Society search box. my mother in law was Kathleen Susan Saggers born UK in 1917 I was intending to add this to the Society&#39;s research page but dont want to overlap any info you may already have my Saggers line goes back to Leicestershire middle 1600s do you have a connection to this line?valevershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07574796561962158574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10606601.post-19942931049086156282016-04-14T09:58:02.515-07:002016-04-14T09:58:02.515-07:00Enjoyed meeting you

I like short term subscription or pay for view offers the best and try to save up work to do when these come along.

And I&#39;ve found a good # of relevant English trees there. <br />I found the pricing structure confusing/annoying. And the search has never been direct enough. Now that FamilySearch is sharing with My Heritage and other commercial sites, there seems a lot of clutter in any of the results lists. (I am on FamilySearch a LOT, and don&#39;t see any advantage at the moment to searching/viewing FS content at other sites.)M.

Then they could easily put together a list of the top 25.
